Panguan

The first impression was...he was really too old.

Both Zhang Lan and Zhang Yalin are in their early thirties, and as their grandfather, Zhang Zhengchu is almost ninety years old. If it is in an ordinary family, this is a long life, and it is normal to be older.

But he is the judge.

The judge clears up obstacles and transforms evil spirits. If he can't get rid of them, he is full of burdens. If he can't get rid of them, he will be cultivated and blessed. Therefore, there are often people in this group of people who are over a hundred years old, and they are even more energetic in their eighties and nineties.

It is really rare to see someone as old as Zhang Zhengchu.

For Dadong and the others, Zhang Zhengchu's appearance confirmed some rumors.

It is rumored that the Zhang family made great contributions to the matter of the seal dust not being able to reach them. Although they did not disappear like those relatives and disciples, they also suffered a lot. Arguably the worst of those alive.

Even if the starting point of the seal is good, it can't escape the title of "deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors".

It is said that the ancestors of the Zhang family were righteous and took these burdens down, so every subsequent head of the Zhang family seemed to be cursed by the ancestors, and their life span was not long, and they grew old quickly.

In order to balance this point, the Zhang family recruited disciples widely and spread their descendants widely. The appointed younger generation will take over as the head of the family as soon as they reach the age of 35. The previous generation never loves power and does not delay for a day. This is how it is from generation to generation, and it is today's prosperity situation.

And the other families are always grateful for the righteousness of the ancestors of the Zhang family, and are willing to let them have a head. Letting go, there really is a gap.

This is the most extensive statement about why the Zhang family dominates after the seal.

Dadong and the others have heard of it since childhood.

It's hard to say the truth, but seeing Zhang Zhengchu today, they can at least be sure that "ageing quickly" is true. They even suspected that the old man would not hold out until Zhang Yalin was 35 years old, and might give way early.

Zhang Zhengchu's face was slack, and because the corners of his mouth were pulled down, he was even more majestic when he was silent.

He tapped his fingers for a while, and said, "So, all of you have heard that the phrase 'I'm alive again' was said by Ah Lan himself?"

Dadong and the others nodded hesitantly, and added: "We saw the change in the name map and called Sister Lan. She said this after listening to us."

Zhang Zhengchu just listened without nodding.

He seldom puts his own thoughts on his face, and he doesn't even make the simplest gestures of nodding or shaking his head when facing these strangers.

He asked again: "How many times have you called her?"

"Several of them. They didn't work the first few times, but they worked the last time." Dadong said.

"Successive beatings?" Zhang Zhengchu asked again.

"right."

Zhang Zhengchu was still beating the beat with his cane, and after a while, he raised his chin at Dadong and the others.

Without him needing to speak, Aqi immediately walked over to Dadong and the others and said, "The old man has nothing to ask. There is an aunt in the front yard who has made tea soup. You can go there and rest for a while. Let's stay at my house tonight. Everyone else is on their way."

When Dadong and the others heard this, they ran away in a hurry.

As soon as the door was closed, Zhang Zhengchu said to Ah Qi: "I made several phone calls in succession but failed to get through. Which cage should Ah Lan be in at that time. The last time I got through, that is when she just came out."

Azzie nodded.

"So when she came out of the cage, Patriarch Bu Ning came back to life." Zhang Zhengchu said.

Aqi is a puppet after all, and a very rigid puppet, with a slow brain. He froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right."

Zhang Zhengchu was holding the cane, and the other end was turning gently on the ground.

After rolling it a few times, he said in a deep voice, "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Achilles: "Maybe."

Zhang Zhengchu said again: "I don't believe it."

Aqi hesitated a little: "Then you mean..."

Zhang Zhengchu: "Bu Ning's resurrection should be related to the cage she was in. She knew it before she answered the phone, and she might even have seen it directly."

He thought for a while, and walked slowly to the wall with a cane. There is also a name chart hanging there.

Almost everyone in each family has a copy of the name spectrum map, and it is not unusual to appear here. But his picture is slightly different from others.

It is older, with a lot of damage on the edges, like the most original version, which has been passed down from generation to generation for more than a thousand years.

Zhang Zhengchu looked at Bu Ning's name on the picture: "That girl, Ah Lan, knew and even saw Bu Ning come back to life, but she didn't say anything when she answered the phone just now, and she was a little vague. Why?"

Aqi thought about it for a while, and said honestly: "I don't know, I'm rather stupid."

"You're not stupid, you're not stupid." Zhang Zhengchu waved his hands without looking back, "I think she may have encountered some difficult situations and didn't know how to deal with them. I guess it has something to do with Bu Ning's resurrection. That girl has always had a temper." She's very proud, and she won't talk about it when she's in trouble. You can't get anything out of her."

Aqi could only reply: "Indeed."

Zhang Zhengchu asked: "Who else did you say went into that cage with Ah Lan?"

A Qi counted on his fingers: "Ya Lin came to report to you before leaving the house, he should be here. They are looking for the two apprentices of the Shen family to test their strength. So the two apprentices of the Shen family may also In... oh, there is also Xiao Xu who was just mentioned."

"Ya Lin is very similar to his sister, and also proud. Ah Lan is straighter than him. If one can't ask, the two are the same." Zhang Zhengchu said in a low voice: "As for the two disciples of the Shen family..."
